import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.List;

import com.independentsoft.pst.Folder;
import com.independentsoft.pst.Item;
import com.independentsoft.pst.PstFile;
import com.independentsoft.pst.Task;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            PstFile file = new PstFile("c:\\testfolder\\Outlook.pst");

            try
            {
                Folder startFolder = file.getMailboxRoot();

                Folder tasksFolder = startFolder.getFolder("Tasks");

                if (tasksFolder != null)
                {
                    List<Item> items = tasksFolder.getItems();

                    for (int m = 0; m < items.size(); m++)
                    {
                        if (items.get(m) instanceof Task)
                        {
                            Task task = (Task) items.get(m);

                            System.out.println("Id: " + task.getId());
                            System.out.println("Subject: " + task.getSubject());
                            System.out.println("StartDate: " + task.getStartDate());
                            System.out.println("DueDate: " + task.getDueDate());
                            System.out.println("Owner: " + task.getOwner());
                            System.out.println("Body: " + task.getBody());
                            System.out.println("----------------------------------------------------------------");
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            finally
            {
                if (file != null)
                {
                    file.close();
                }
            }
        }
        catch (IOException e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
